Learn how you could reduce your tax bill and keep more of your pay.
Salary packaging, also called salary sacrificing, is a benefit offered by your employer that lets you pay for some everyday goods and services before your tax is calculated. It’s an ATO-approved way of minimising your income tax and maximising your income.
With salary packaging, certain expenses are paid for before tax is taken out. This reduces your taxable income so you could pay less tax. And with many expenses already paid for, you have more to spend on other things.
Many things you now pay for from your after-tax income could be salary packaged.
